@@timchilders3535 bro I bought mine, I love it, I've been using it for 5 months so far so good, battery lasts long, sound is really good, I recommend not taking it to the maximum because it'll have some distortion and will reduce life span but I had it playing music in the middle of the basketball outdoor court, 4 against 4, players talking, ball hitting the ground and the backboard and the music was still audible and enjoyable, really recommend
I bought mine to workout in the back yard, an to be in the shower. That's it!!! I hate people who uses speakers to talk on the phone. Type C charger closed the deal for me. An it doesn't need a cover to go under water. I bought mine today at Walmart for $89.99
Already order the flip 5. I bought mine to listen to music only. Sound is superior plus all other features I can do without. And besides if i want more speakers ill buy more flip fives better sound.
Exactly! Why are people complaining about no microphone and no 3.5mm jack on a "Bluetooth" speaker. I buy it to listen to music not to make phone calls on my speaker.
@@cristiannn8049 I think it's really loud when your indoors with just 1 JBL flip 5 speaker but outdoors it's loud enough but some people would probably prefer to have 2 when outside
It sounds OK for a small speaker. I'm assuming no bass boosted stuff was used for the sound test. My only complaint with these portable JBL speakers is that there is no protection for those side radiators so can easily get damaged in a bag or from accidental knocks which makes it less portable. If only JBL could put some grills over them then they would be perfect.
Actually.. Those passive radiators are tougher than a typical radiator you see on other bluetooth speakers that are covered with grill... And actually those rubbers that supports the radiator are thick. I tested them out and they're durable, my Jble flip 5 is 4 years old now yet they are still perfectly fine after a few drops and being packed on my bag
I bought the flip 5 recently. Pretty good sound. Great for camping trips, the beach, hanging out at the pool, patio and etc. and duh!!! not intended for use under water but yes you can use in the water, pool floating around.
The water submersion was the best part ... it made me laugh when water went everywhere!! Considering this is going to be going poolside frequently when I get mine, I needed to see the water demonstration. The price of the flip 4 and flip 5 are currently the same, so there was no money savings to consider. I favored the Type-C usb and no flap to worry about water getting in. As far as some of the other features, seeing as how I don't have any other JBL speakers to connect or would ever talk through my bluetooth speaker, I don't see those options as important for my purposes. As long as it sounds amazing at the price point, is waterproof, loud and clear sound, that's all I need. I did buy two speakers so I can connect them since JBL is using the Partyboost connectivity, and just in case they go back to the JBL connect. At least I'll still have these that can be paired. I won't miss a 3.5mm jack either because it would be a rare occasion that I would ever feel the need to connect that way. Let's face it, Bluetooth is the wave of the future and will be for a very long time. People enjoy living in a world wirelessly when possible.
@@ChrispyThings Thanks! Can't wait to get them and hear what they sound like in person, although, I'd have to say, your recording microphone picks up excellent audio capture in loud sounds. Kudos!
@@ChrispyThings I got the two Flip 5's and I gotta say, linking them with party boost didn't require putting an app on my phone which is great, and was also very simple. I highly recommend using two of them for more of a stereo feel. They sound great, get very loud, and can really pound for being small speakers. (This coming from an audiophile and DJ/KJ). Plus, their size will fit well in a bicycle water bottle holder, so I can take one on my bike and put the other on my daughter's and play music from my phone so that if she rides near me, we both can enjoy the tunes. I like the weightier construction versus previous Flip units (my husband has just a Flip with no number...) and feel that these should hold up well for a very long time. I have hit that red button and thumbs up engaged in support of your channel. Nice job on this video!
@@JJTheKaraokeRideshareDriver Hey, since you've had the speaker for a while now, could you please tell me if it floats in a pool? Because at some point in the video it seemed to sink...
Chrispy, you are the best tech and trinket reviewer on TH-cam. You are my trusted go-to channel when assessing wallets, tech and gadgets. Keep up the good work.
Looks cool, I honestly wouldn't want it for it for using IN water, but it's nice to know it's safe from moisture in the shower or if you happen to be outside and it's drizzling.
Right? Wtf is it such a big deal to intentionally dunk and submerge speakers and other electronic devices? Ive always tended to avoid getting my things wet, as much as possible.
The cutting out under the water at 9:31 is most likely because you're using a metal bowl which shields connection between the phone. Try it in a plastic or glass bowl, probably works just fine. Thanks for the review, I also love my Flip 5 when on the go.
Hi, I have 2 jbl flip 5 speakers that I use in stereo mode. I want to sell them and upgrade to a single portable one with even more bass. Would you recommend it or should I keep them? The thing is IDK if theres something better cause I tried the charge 5 and I honestly think my flip's 5 sound better together than a single one. The xtreme might be good but its price is too expensive abd if it sounds the same as my speakers it would be a waste. Does anybody know what should I do? Should I bought a xtreme o keep my speakers?
The *Flip 4* is still the best speaker in the JBL Flip line-up without any doubt, though the Flip 5 sounds marginally better... less bright. I got mine in India for $91 in November 2019 but the price went up to $110 after that and has pretty much remained there. (In India) The reason is, while the Flip 5 sounds good, it is not better... in fact it is a major step backwards. . The Flip 4 is stereo, the Flip 5 is mono. . The Flip 4 has a mic, it is an excellent speaker phone. The 5 doesn't have a mic! . The Flip 4 also has a bass boosting feature. Press the Bluetooth and the Volume down button for about 10 seconds and you enter Extra Bass Mode. . The Flip 4 ports are covered with a watertight flap. The 5 has them exposed. How waterproof can that be? . Flip 4 has a 3.5mm / Aux In port. The 5 doesnt! Though it is BT 4. The Flip 4 has a bright sound and a very tight bass and open mids. (I reduce the treble a tad, with my phone's eq, just a small step and it sounds perfect. For speech and muffled recordings, it is crystal clear as is. It also has 2 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators. The Flip 5 has one active driver, however it charges via type C, sounds good and looks as good as the 4, though slightly larger. The 3.5 aux input is essential for watching video without lag / latency. This speaker is a perfect blend of sound and size, portability, compatibility, style and ruggedness. It has an IPX7 rating and it lives up to it. Battery life is fine, not great, for either. The price, at $90 is fair. And if you can by any chance place it in a corner, it blows the lid off much larger speakers! This is a small speaker you will fall in love with, can carry around and never tire of! 4/5*. 1/2 off for the average battery and 1/2 off for being a fraction too bright. Flip 4 rules! **** 😊 _
How is not having 3.5mm jack going backwards? It’s a travel and outdoor speaker, who actually uses 3.5mm jack these days if you don’t have some top notch hifi system? It was annoying to have that flap so im glad they simplified this. Partyboost however sucks and i wish it was compatible with my flip 4, that i ended up selling for that reason. I don’t think JBL realizes it’s not gonna make people buy two speakers, and it’s also not allow them to built a connected collection that would basically surround your room with sound, which would be awesome. Because they don’t have it, i just sell the previous version everytime. Which means that someone will buy something they already sold and jbl will not have profit from it, but if they let them connect, less people would be selling their older speakers and thus more people would have to actually buy the new one. Basic logic, idk who is doing the marketing strategy at JByl but they should be fired.
I really like ur vid. Only thing I can say, is when I ordered the JBL5, was the fact that it did not have a microphone or voice assistant! I want my speakers to be speakers not another cel accessory. Pricey? Yea, then again, if we can afford it why not. Again, good video.
i like the flip line of speakers for the size and sound. i dont always want to pack my big extreme 2 around every day. great review!! loved the water test! lmfao!!

The single driver is positioned to the right from the logo. The sound is as if you're listening to it in a hollow chamber. Flip 4 has natural, absolutely natural sound, which means it gets slightly harsher at full volume. The C type is the only catch in this speaker. You should probably check out Charge instead.
My dude, do you recommend Flip 5 over Flip 4 sound-wise? I'm seriously considering getting Flip 4 for the convenience of using it as an external speaker for calls. Thanks!
@@ChrispyThings me too they leaked out the Charge 5 for March release with 40 watts and an added tweeter. The flip 6 can’t wait hopefully 30 watts and a tweeter the flip 4 and 5 are excellent speakers have them all up to the charge 4 I have Bose micro Tribit Stormbox micro so many good speakers out there. I stick with the big 3 JBL, BOSE,and SONY!
Great review thx!! Btw is there a way to adjust the Bass & Treble? I tried adjusting my phone that I have it connected through and changing the sound from Heavy Bass to Low Bass and tried High Treble and Rock and Jazz which changes the sound on my wireless headphones but it doesn’t change the sound on this speaker?! Kinda frustrating or am I doing something wrong? Thx. New subscriber.
I picked up one in green camo a few weeks ago and got a little nervous when I saw "waterproof" with the exposed charge port. I thought "how's that possible", so I've been reluctant to put it in any water, despite the waterproof feature. Thanks for showing that it won't blow up on me if I put it in water lol. Great review, all around.
I have this speaker and I love it it has great sound could use more bass but the charge lasts mine 3 dTs before another charge and just takes mine 1 hour to fully charge
The fact that JBL Flip 5 does not have voice assistant(at least a mic) is a serious deal breaker. I'll just wait for the next one, hopefully they fix that
Excellent video I have one question I just bought my flip 5 today I only need it when I’m driving my Fed Ex. My question is on mines the speaker sounds like it’s louder towards the left of the device and not even on the right. Is there only one speaker on this device or do yours sound even on both sides
This Flip 5 stopped Bluetooth pairing after 4 months. If you have any recommendations, I will be open. Otherwise without cable connection this is just a paper weight
Greetings all the way from Ghana, West Africa. I love this your reviews here. Good thing you mentioned it's performance in comparison to the Sony xb 32. I have been struggling with which one to buy between them. I'm looking for one with better bass performance. Could you help me here? Flip 5 or Sony xb32? Would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance 🙏
Caution: Most of my friends have JBL speakers, usually Flip 4 and 5, it works awsome for max 1 year and then it gets battery and sound quality issues. Just FYI
Any old crappy speaker takes calls. I wouldn't have gotten this had I known. Also not stereo give me a break. Dont get it. You need 2 of these for stereo sound. Then how portable would it be carrying two. But still I am getting another, there are blessings for that too. I couldn't get this speaker to work without getting the jbl app, so it is working just now. Sound is good, but maybe I would have just bought a larger cheaper speaker with all the standard features including stereo and ability to take phone calls. I'm making sure you guys have all the info before you buy. Edit, I do love this flip 5, I kind of flipped out a little about not taking calls but I'm used to it only after 1 day. Sound is awesome, can't wait for the 2nd 5 I ordered to play sweet stereo sound. God bless you guys.
Im buying this because im pretty sure charge 4 will get a partyboost update. So excited for bass heavy sounds if connected with flip 5 🙂🙂 my charge 3 will get lonely though... Tough decision
I brought the speaker before watching this video. You kind of make the flip 4 sound better. All in all I enjoy it. Great sound . Nice review. BTW what song is that you used during testing ?
the partyboost is first good for new technology software updates comign with it but it is in first place goo d for money making. they know people gonna buy always the newest jbl line up speakers and they know they can force people to buy several flip 5. htey know people gonna tell there friends "hey buy a flip 5 so we can conenct ours together"....they know people are that stupid and will buy the newest jbl speakers...all those kids want always the newest one. it is marketing tactics. they hope it will go right...lets hope for jbl it was a clever step.
Hey, great video. Im thinking about getting one but I've seen people say that it doesn't turn on/charge for them anymore. Does it still work for you? Should I get it despite these problems?
Thank you for the review. I bought one and it sounds awesome. Only thing is when I turn it up loud starts moving on the table like you put it straight and starts spinning around slowly is that normal?
ive had this speaker for 2 years, and its a hell of a solid thing. i dropped it so many times and it still sounds amazing. i think the age of mine has affected the battery like when i play it on full blast, the speaker seems to die faster. is that normal? however, when i have it below half volume, it lasts me DAYS. it's insane. I've only dropped this thing in the water at work a couple times and its a TANK.
Yes that’s normal. And this is my problem with built in batteries. They all degrade over time. So when it’s doesn’t take a charge anymore, your speaker is now garbage. There’s no reason they can’t put in a few 21700 batteries that can be removed and replaced if needed.
When connecting more than one flip 5 together, after about 30 min it automatically disconnects if I do not have both simultaneously connected to my phone via bluetooth (since this causes disruptions in the sound if further apart). I have heard several have this problem. Do you have an fix for that issue? It's not the particular speaker itself either as I have experimented with 4 different brand new flip 5s.
It happened with my cellphone. I bought a samsung tab and it has not interrumptions while playing on stereo mode. Maybe the mobiles are old and it doesn't work well. Otherwise, I don't know, but I can say its not a problem of the speakers at all cause when I connected them on my tab I had no problems. It might be the bluetooth version or idk 😢
Got the 5 sounds good But left out so many good features that the 4 had and do not like no cover over the charger outlet stick with the 4 if u can find it .

Why do you think JBL left out so many features on the new Flip 5?
Can i win the flip 5 ?

guys just buy a Earfun uboom or tribit max sound plus or a anker soundcore motion+. all of those 3 are better than this flip shit :D
Maurice Hard disagree but thanks for your input.

It was labeled as a copyright free song.
I received a copyright claim on this video because of it. I’m protesting it.
The single driver is positioned to the right from the logo. The sound is as if you're listening to it in a hollow chamber. Flip 4 has natural, absolutely natural sound, which means it gets slightly harsher at full volume. The C type is the only catch in this speaker. You should probably check out Charge instead.
Watching your video with JBL flip 5. It seems great
Excellent review. They dont have a 3.5mm jack?
We bought this speaker today so happy🎊🔥🥰
Me too
chariemae tagsa how do you like it?
Hello, I want to own one, is it still working for you?
Chrispy Things I Appreciate This Video😊!
haha i loved the water test xD great stuff. thank you
My dude, do you recommend Flip 5 over Flip 4 sound-wise? I'm seriously considering getting Flip 4 for the convenience of using it as an external speaker for calls. Thanks!
Flip 5 for future proofing your purchase if you plan on buying other JBL speakers. If not, go with the 4 if you need to take calls.
For indoor and rooms soundtrip this is amazing. Flip to fit indoor .
Another awesome JBL video your the JBL MAN keep the great Bluetooth videos coming.
I can’t wait for the Flip 6!
@@ChrispyThings me too they leaked out the Charge 5 for March release with 40 watts and an added tweeter. The flip 6 can’t wait hopefully 30 watts and a tweeter the flip 4 and 5 are excellent speakers have them all up to the charge 4 I have Bose micro Tribit Stormbox micro so many good speakers out there. I stick with the big 3 JBL, BOSE,and SONY!
Thanks for your binaural mic...im sold...the sound quality is awsome. Have you reviewed the Harman Kardon Onyx 5 and 6? if so il dive thro asap
No I haven’t.
My latest speaker recluse the Bose Soundlink Flex. I’d definitely check out that speaker if I were you. It’s great
JBL?? Love the bass and clarity!! Sonos?? Really like their new “picture” speaker. Pricey tho!!
Like your cute tan line!!
Thanks!
I can only tell that your mic is terrific!
Thanks!
For the videos u make u deserve more subscribers so I subscribed
Worth every penny
HOLY BASS!
The signal is lost because of the metal container. Not water I guess
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Great review thx!! Btw is there a way to adjust the Bass & Treble? I tried adjusting my phone that I have it connected through and changing the sound from Heavy Bass to Low Bass and tried High Treble and Rock and Jazz which changes the sound on my wireless headphones but it doesn’t change the sound on this speaker?! Kinda frustrating or am I doing something wrong? Thx. New subscriber.
You can’t adjust the level later in the JBL app unfortunately. You can with the new Flip 6 though.
I picked up one in green camo a few weeks ago and got a little nervous when I saw "waterproof" with the exposed charge port. I thought "how's that possible", so I've been reluctant to put it in any water, despite the waterproof feature. Thanks for showing that it won't blow up on me if I put it in water lol. Great review, all around.
Thanks!
I have this speaker and I love it it has great sound could use more bass but the charge lasts mine 3 dTs before another charge and just takes mine 1 hour to fully charge
Chrispy.. loved the water test! Jesus! Lol
I was worried for a minute there. Lol
Doesn’t float
got the flip 5 because it was same price as flip 4 and I prefer USB c
is the flip 5 loud enough for parties?
What song was that, that you tested with ?
The fact that JBL Flip 5 does not have voice assistant(at least a mic) is a serious deal breaker. I'll just wait for the next one, hopefully they fix that
Specs wise it isn’t really mind blowing but sound quality is superb.
@@davodxsuperstar yes very true AND that's why it kills me. But who knows, maybe the sound quality was a trade off for the mic and assistant
Excellent video I have one question I just bought my flip 5 today I only need it when I’m driving my Fed Ex. My question is on mines the speaker sounds like it’s louder towards the left of the device and not even on the right. Is there only one speaker on this device or do yours sound even on both sides
It sounds like it’s coming from 1 side.
is the flip 5 loud enough for parties?
This Flip 5 stopped Bluetooth pairing after 4 months. If you have any recommendations, I will be open. Otherwise without cable connection this is just a paper weight
The music made this video that ! 🥰
Greetings all the way from Ghana, West Africa. I love this your reviews here. Good thing you mentioned it's performance in comparison to the Sony xb 32. I have been struggling with which one to buy between them. I'm looking for one with better bass performance. Could you help me here? Flip 5 or Sony xb32? Would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance 🙏
Recommend the jbl flip 5 , i used my girlfriend’s and it blew me away !
You can still connect to other Jbl speakers, just have to download the JBL app to do so
Caution: Most of my friends have JBL speakers, usually Flip 4 and 5, it works awsome for max 1 year and then it gets battery and sound quality issues. Just FYI
Is the Flip 5 good to use when watching TH-cam videos on an iPad? Or is there a good bit of lag?
Thanks, and GREAT video!
Very little lag watching a video right next to the speaker.
Just buy airpods pro
Any old crappy speaker takes calls. I wouldn't have gotten this had I known. Also not stereo give me a break. Dont get it. You need 2 of these for stereo sound. Then how portable would it be carrying two. But still I am getting another, there are blessings for that too. I couldn't get this speaker to work without getting the jbl app, so it is working just now. Sound is good, but maybe I would have just bought a larger cheaper speaker with all the standard features including stereo and ability to take phone calls. I'm making sure you guys have all the info before you buy. Edit, I do love this flip 5, I kind of flipped out a little about not taking calls but I'm used to it only after 1 day. Sound is awesome, can't wait for the 2nd 5 I ordered to play sweet stereo sound. God bless you guys.
Im buying this because im pretty sure charge 4 will get a partyboost update. So excited for bass heavy sounds if connected with flip 5 🙂🙂 my charge 3 will get lonely though... Tough decision
I brought the speaker before watching this video. You kind of make the flip 4 sound better. All in all I enjoy it. Great sound . Nice review. BTW what song is that you used during testing ?
Spot Light check the comments. I know I’ve answered that question a few times. Seek and you will find. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrispyThingsjust answer his question dweeb
Entertaining and informative, great job
Thanks for watching!
the partyboost is first good for new technology software updates comign with it but it is in first place goo d for money making. they know people gonna buy always the newest jbl line up speakers and they know they can force people to buy several flip 5. htey know people gonna tell there friends "hey buy a flip 5 so we can conenct ours together"....they know people are that stupid and will buy the newest jbl speakers...all those kids want always the newest one. it is marketing tactics. they hope it will go right...lets hope for jbl it was a clever step.
Thanks for the info.,👍👍👍
Thank you very much.
Very helpful.
Hey, great video. Im thinking about getting one but I've seen people say that it doesn't turn on/charge for them anymore. Does it still work for you? Should I get it despite these problems?
It still works for me. I’ve had no issues at all. I’m guessing the problems you’re hearing about aren’t the norm. I use this speaker all the time.
Should I buy flip 5 or charge 4 for the price en size?
Having the same debate rn
Jayden Humphries I took the charge 4 for more bass and battery, and it’s awesome, you should also take it🤩
And my friend has a flip 5, and I like the charge 4 much more
That beat is nice
JBL Flip 5 vs Anker Soundcore Flare+ Which one should I get for better sound and bass?
is there any delay from the audio while you playing youtube?
Thank you for the review. I bought one and it sounds awesome. Only thing is when I turn it up loud starts moving on the table like you put it straight and starts spinning around slowly is that normal?
0:15 that song reminds me of filthy frank.
He joji now, PROUD of hIm
What is the song you played at the sound test? It’s fire
Buddha by Kontekst
It's fine if you don't have any other jbl speakers, and personally, I don't care about the mic
ive had this speaker for 2 years, and its a hell of a solid thing. i dropped it so many times and it still sounds amazing. i think the age of mine has affected the battery like when i play it on full blast, the speaker seems to die faster. is that normal? however, when i have it below half volume, it lasts me DAYS. it's insane. I've only dropped this thing in the water at work a couple times and its a TANK.
Yes that’s normal. And this is my problem with built in batteries. They all degrade over time. So when it’s doesn’t take a charge anymore, your speaker is now garbage.
There’s no reason they can’t put in a few 21700 batteries that can be removed and replaced if needed.
When connecting more than one flip 5 together, after about 30 min it automatically disconnects if I do not have both simultaneously connected to my phone via bluetooth (since this causes disruptions in the sound if further apart). I have heard several have this problem. Do you have an fix for that issue? It's not the particular speaker itself either as I have experimented with 4 different brand new flip 5s.
It happened with my cellphone. I bought a samsung tab and it has not interrumptions while playing on stereo mode. Maybe the mobiles are old and it doesn't work well. Otherwise, I don't know, but I can say its not a problem of the speakers at all cause when I connected them on my tab I had no problems. It might be the bluetooth version or idk 😢
Cant wait to own one🙏🏻💪🌅
The video was good. But u should know that Bluetooth 5.0 also doesn't work under water.
Viraaj Singh not to mention it’s literally in a metal bowl lmfao
@@toofarproductions1, so what do u want to say that 'cause of metal the Bluetooth is not working??
@@im.viraaj yes metal blocks radio waves
@@toofarproductions1 but it was not in a because of metal, closed from all sides. U r right. But now it was blocked by water.
Nice review👍
Got the 5 sounds good But left out so many good features that the 4 had and do not like no cover over the charger outlet stick with the 4 if u can find it .
I need help, should i buy flip 5 or lg pk5, i'm having a hard time choosing.
Get the Flip 5. Better overall sound.
great review, I'm not that tech savvy but which bluetooth speaker would you recommend under $100?
Right now, the Tribit Stormbox micro. I just did a review and sound test on it. 55 bucks.
Flip 5. It won ''What HIFI?'' award as best budget portable bluetooth speaker
I have a flip3 and thinking of upgrading to a 4 or 5...which would you go with or stay with my 3?
